Stock definitely poops out here in Atlanta (zone 7b). It's not worth the
effort for the pitiful showing it makes here. I'm a zone warmer than you,
Rosemary, but I have a hunch your humidity and heat will do a number
on stock where you are, too. I don't know if it would work as a
Fall-planted bedding plant.....you may get freezing temps too soon.
